Re: clipbord unavailable with popupform (access 2003)

I can't find anything about this, but no doubt it is "by design". The Edit | Paste menu option and the Paste button on the toolbar are also disabled when you have a popup form open, but you can still use Ctrl+V or right-click and select Paste.

If your form is a dialog form (Popup = Yes and Modal = Yes), you cannot even click in the Clipboard task pane. If it is popup only (Modal = No), you can click on an item in the Clipboard task pane, but you'll get an error message. If you then press Ctrl+V, the selected clipboard item will be pasted...

Re: clipbord unavailable with popupform (access 2003)

I would be pretty cautious in using the clipboard by design in an Access application. Requiring the user to do Cut and Paste is creating the potential for user errors. In most cases you can do the work behind the scenes using VBA and/or SQL commands. Just my <img src=/S/2cents.gif border=0 alt=2cents width=15 height=15> of advise.
